Food: 0.5-2€ for snack/take-away things like Döner (note: they're a lot smaller than in Europe and just generally different, if you want Evrope style look for 'Alman Döner') or a big Cheburek, 3-6€ for a proper meal (in this price range you can get enough Xingali to feed 2 people) and a few € more for drinks and sides.
This is kind of the low end prices, it'll be 2-3x if you're in Icherisheher/bulvar.
Accommodation: cheap Airbnbs are like 15-20€ a night, they can be even cheaper if you have truly low standards.
Transport: A Bolt across the whole city costs like 3-6€ (also, just give them the price rounded to the nearest whole Manat, no one wants to deal with a bunch of coins), metro and bus are both 25ct per ride (although some busses are more expensive, I.e between cities)
>general experiences
I thought I was pretty familiar with life in brown countries from cultural osmosis, but some things are just different and I really felt like I was in some sort of autistic upside down world during my first visit. Most cars you enter will have the seatbelts completely removed, busses often stop in the 2nd or 3rd line instead of at the side of the road, and there's security theater at every mall and metro entrance (the guards are usually just on their phone). In fact, the entire country is filled with larping of various kinds, government, economy, culture, society. It's kind of fascinating to me.
This picture is the inside of an abandoned nightclub inside a parking garage converted into commercial spaces (like motorbike stores) that I had to walk through to reach a bowling alley that also had a miserable looking bar and a few arcade machines. I dunno about you but I love shit like this.
